MT. SAN RAFAEL & COLLATERAL
CEO asks County
Board to turn over
land ownership to
hospital associationBy Steve Block
The Chronicle-News
Mt. San Rafael Hospital is in se-
rious need of repairs and upgrades
according to its Chief Executive
Officer Bob Quist. The problem
is that the hospital doesn’t own
the building or the land on which
it sits, land that could be used as
collateral for a loan to make the
needed repairs. The land is owned
by Las Animas County, and Quist
asked the County’s Board of Com-
missioners to turn ownership of
the land over to the Trinidad Area
Hospital Association (TAHA), dur-
ing Tuesday’s Board meeting.
Board members asked for time
to consider Quist’s proposal, and
to gather input as to whether the
County should turn the land over
to TAHA, which is the hospital’s
governing body. County voters
have repeatedly rejected County
referenda in recent years that
would have provided some pub-
lic funding for the hospital. Quist
stressed that Trinidad’s hospital is
one of just two critical care access
hospitals in Colorado that receive
no public funding.
County Administrator Leeann
Fabec read a letter from TAHA’s
Board to the County, formally re-
questing the transfer of the land
and buildings from the County to
TAHA, which is a nonprofit, 501(c)
(3) entity. The transfer would in-
clude the hospital’s clinic and the
building currently occupied by the

sushi in
Trinidad?By Cynthia Berresse Ploski
Art Correspondent & Reviewer
The Chronicle-News
That door marked “Express” at
the other end of the Ristras restau-
rant building was open at last, so
I went in. Drawn by the aroma of
tempura wafting toward me like
a banner on a breeze, I entered
to find several customers at the
food bar and three State Patrol
members at a table busily scarfing
down sushi (yes, really, right here
in Trinidad.)
Sushi in Trinidad; my joy
abounds. Now if we get a Thai res-
taurant to add to the various Mexi-
can, Chinese, Italian and fast food
dining establishments, my joy will
be complete.
The scene in the new little FNA
Sushi Bar was different from Iron
Chef in New York only in two
measures: Fancy, pretty froufrou
adorning the plates was minimal,
andtherewasnosakeforsale.Oth-
erwise, what was on those plates
was just as appetizing, smelled as
good, and was deemed by the din-
ers to be excellent as anything I
have yet tasted in the big cities.
That’s because it is really
healthy and really fresh. Fresh
fish is flown in from California
to the Colorado Springs airport
Thursday night. It is sushi in Trin-
idad by lunchtime Friday. The
little restaurant is only open on
Fridays and Saturdays for lunch,
at least until the owners get a feel
for what Trinidadians are inter-
ested in consuming. I put in a re-
quest to add seaweed salad to the
menu. Perhaps when FNA Sushi
has its grand opening sometime
soon I will be able to get my sea-
weed salad fix. (So many healthy
minerals in it!) Cynthia Berresse Ploski / The Chronicle-News

2015 SEASON OPENER
Trojans sweep Rams
to open baseball season
By Mike Salbato
Correspondent
The Chronicle-News
The defending Region IX
champs took the field for the first
time in 2015 this past weekend at
Central Park sweeping the Rams
from CSU-Fort Collins in four
straight games. The Trojans out-
scored their opponents by a com-
bined 44-4 over the weekend.
For the first game on Saturday
it was sophomore Alex Rogers
taking the bump for the Trojans.
The Canadian right-hander went
the full five innings, striking out
four on route to his first win of
the season. The high-pressure
offensive attack of the Trojans
put 13 hits on the board and stole
four bases in the 11-1 win. In the
second game, Izar Mendez, a lefty
from California, held the Rams to
just two hits while striking out six.
Dalton Drury had three hits, stole
a base and scored twice to pace the
offense to another 11-1 win.
On Sunday, sophomore Josh
Payne shut the Rams down and
the Trojan offense pounded out 13
hits for a 10-0 win in the first game.Photos by Emmy Gazaway / TSJC

Trojans sweep Rams to open baseball season ... Continued from Page 1
In the final game of the series James
Smith and Caden Pratt, freshmen from
Brighton, Colorado, led the team to a 12-2
victory. Smith picked up the win on the hill
and his battery mate Pratt gathered up two
hits, three runs, an RBI, and a stolen base.
“It was a good opening weekend for us.
We were able to get some new players some
at-bats and get them familiar with the pace
of college baseball,” commented third-year
Head Coach Matthew Torrez. “A couple
of guys with really good weekends at the
plate were Alex Dominguez, he had seven
hits and ended up hitting over .700 for the
weekend. Cruz Nevarez had eight hits, one
homerun and four stolen bases; he did a
great job of igniting our offense at the top of
the lineup. On the mound all of our pitch-
ers did a really good job of staying ahead of
the hitters and giving us a chance to make
plays behind them. Josh Payne threw four
innings of no-hit baseball and James Smith
received his first college win going five in-
nings, allowing five hits, one earned run, no
walks and seven K’s. We had a successful
weekend as a team, now it is time to move
on to next week as we travel to New Mexico
Junior College who is always a tough oppo-
nent.”
The Trojans will head to Hobbs, New
Mexico where they will take on NMJC for
one game on Friday, a doubleheader on Sat-
urday and a single game on Sunday. They
will next play at home on February 22 when
they host Luna Community College for a
doubleheader starting at noon.

Lady Trojans go 3-1 to start
season, Swazo picks up 200th win
By Mike Salbato
Correspondent
The Chronicle-News
With the cold and snow finally giving up
their hold over Southside Park the Lady Tro-
jans were able to get two solid days of practice
in before opening their season last weekend.
The two days were apparently enough as the
Lady Trojans played well enough to pick up
three wins in four outings. The Trojans defeat-
ed Frank Phillips College on Saturday 12-4 and
7-5, then split on Sunday, losing to Luna Com-
munity College 8-7 and bouncing back to defeat
Colby Community College 7-2. The first victory
against Frank Phillips on Saturday was Coach
Steve Swazo’s 200th career victory while coach-
ing softball at Trinidad State Junior College.
In game one against Frank Phillips, fresh-
man pitcher Demi Madalena went the dis-
tance for her first collegiate victory in the 12-4
win. Sophomore Macie Christian had the hot
bat going 3-for-4. Freshmen Samantha Glover
and Lauren Bending each had doubles in the
win. In game two, Trinidad was able to come
away with a 7-5 win after trailing 4-1 early in the
game. Taylor Casiquito, Liz Aguilar and Vicky
Gonzales each had doubles in the contest. Pick-
ing up the win in the circle was Corey Aragon
with Madalena getting the save.
On Sunday, Trinidad fell to Luna Commu-
nity College 8-7 despite having chances to score
in the later innings only to leave three base run-
ners stranded. Gonzales was a perfect 4-for-4
with a homerun and 3 RBIs while Christian
went 3-for-4 in the contest.
The final game of the weekend saw fresh-
man Jessica Salbato going the distance for her
first collegiate victory defeating Colby Commu-
nity College 7-2. Gonzales and Christian each
had two hits in the contest and Adrianna DeV-
ille drove a pair of runs in with a triple.
“For not being able to be outside to practice I
thought the team did very well in our first four
games of the season,” Swazo said. “The coach-
ing staff saw some things that we need to work
on and we hope to work those out as the season
progresses, but overall I was pleased with how
the team came out and performed this first
weekend of the season.”

land, Texas for nine games over the weekend.
Their next home stand will be February 21 for
a doubleheader against Garden City and then
a 4-game series against McCook Community
College on February 22 and 23. All Lady Trojan
home games are played at Southside Park.
